Soldiers' Angel - Holly Aho

Here's the long awaited podcast interview with Capt. Chuck Ziegenfuss, from the blog 'From My Position...On the Way!'. Chuck is in the Army, and was injured in Iraq last June by an IED. He is now currently staying in Washington DC as an outpatient of the Walter Reed Medical Center. I highly recommend visiting his blog if you are not familiar with it already!!

Chuck is a fellow Milblogger, still blogging despite severe damage to his hands. This was made possible by voice activated software that allows him to speak as his computer types. Chuck is also the inspiration for Soldiers' Angels Project Valour-IT, which provides laptops and voice activated software to other wounded soldiers with similar injuries at major medical centers. Included below is a list of links for learning more about this project.

Chuck is very interesting to talk to, and the interview is approximately 45 minutes long. I did actually cut out about 20 - 30 minutes of the interview in the interest of time...perhaps I'll add those as a second addition later on.

Program Notes: As a patient at Walter Reed Chuck has a unique viewpoint on the anti-war protesters at Walter Reed, the base closing of Walter Reed, along with a few thoughts on Cindy Sheehan, and his own personal experiences as a soldier in Iraq, and a soldier who was injured in Iraq.
